If you'd only let him

Instead of the weight

HERE are many 
who lend or who 

borrow, 
Who come to 
collect or repay; 
There are those who 
forget you to-morrow 
Who greet you with 

hand-clasps to-day; 
But he knows your 

worth f and he only 
He knows all your 

merit or guile. 
Don't you think that 
sometimes he is 

lonely V 

Be good to yourself 
for awhile.

!)OW, you know- 
all the others 
completely, 
As though they' 
were books on 
your shelf; 
But for long youVe 
ignored him too 

/ neatly — 

Say, what do you know 

of yourself? 
Is there anyone else 
who will struggle 
To help you along, 

mile on mile? 
Then why is it with, 
life you would 

juggle? - 

Be good to yourself 
for awhile. 



UST be good to 
yourself— — it will 

pay you. 
'Vbu'll find when 
you 1 re down on 
your luck 
And when everything 

wants to dismay you 
That he helps you 
out of the ruck, 
So, to-day with your- 
self get acquainted, 
Be free with your 

friendliest smile, 
For you're not half as 

bad as you're painted— 
Be good to yourself 
s|v for awhile!
